The shipping was so quick I was suprised. Thanks BJ's Off Road!

Cool, I love those kind of surprises... Remember to twist the lines to keep them away from the tire...
The tire rubbed a hole in one of my first set of brake lines...

ya I get it now, I just finished installing all 3 lines, the rear one was the hardest and I kind of mangled the line as I had to use vice grips. But its done and I am very happy with the end result!
I would recommend this to anyone, in fact I am going to get some for my stock daily driver chero too.
Now I have to bleed the brakes... I hate bleeding brakes lol
Thanks for all the input
Quinn

Sorry for the delay.. Now that it is too late, I can tell you what I meant.. 
Once you connect both ends of the line, you can give the caliper a turn which will put a twist in the brake line. That twist will either pull the hose away from, or towards the tire. Just rotate it whichever way pulls it away. I is kinda like when you roll up an extension cord you have to un-twist it as you wind it up so that it wraps nice and even... Does that make sense...
If that does not work, then you can always zip tie it away like Stuka said, but that is kinda gheto IMO... |

Jeeprunner81, I looked on my receipt for the 8-10" kit and the 2 front lines are 26" long and the rear is 31" long. If you need any other measurments, I will be glad to help anytime. Hope that helps
thanks demontxn, I finally figured it out once I had the lines on and started turning the tires to see if the lines would hit, thanks for the tip!
